Reasons not to use a shotgun during a zombie invasion

Like the Ninja Mech Idea... best of both worlds... part tank... part ninja... all Gundam!

I lol'd so hard I almost decided to use it as my forum sig.

Btw, the ladies tell me I've got good thrusting technique (Rofl I had to)

If the government took action fast enough, why would you need a nuke? Fuel air bomb would do the job just as well, especially because of their ability to blow up things deep into the ground (basements, bunkers, etc. provided the gas the bomb spreads can get to it)

As for tanks, besides just acquiring one, how many of us actually know how to drive one?

Oh, and on the topic of Zombie's swimming, you should never expect a waterway to be strategic unless it's fast moving or hard to cross in some other way. Most locations like this has a prison, like Alcatraz.

San Francisco is probably the easiest city to survive a Zombie apocalypse because of Alcatraz and Angel Island. You can plant crops of Angel (perhaps even use it as a summer home), live on Alcatraz (or use it as a winter home) and salvage supplies from the area surrounding. You could save on fuel by using sailboats.

The currents around Alcatraz would make it impossible for zombies to swim/walk to it, since they'd be pulled out to sea at low tide or pushed back to shore in high tide.

I, unfortunately, live on the other side of the country, so I'll probably be barricading myself into a high rise or trying to find a similar spot on the east coast. Only place I can think of over here would be up towards Canada, like the Saint Lawrence River.

Anyone know of an island with turbulent waterways around it on the east coast?

How about the island from papyon? Also a sword is longer and thus you are a bit safer using it. It is also balanced for combat making it easier to strike multiple attacks without getting as tired.

As for the sword breaking it is a start that uses your entire body weight and the force of your momentum combined with the force of your arm to create the most powerful strike that is physically possible. Anything but the best swords snap instant when preformed correctly. I worry that two full length swords might not have enough power to do the damage needed. Also it would be wise to use desheathing techniques to speed up the sword and to reduce your work so you can keep attacking for longer. These strats would pwn shawn of the dead zombies. lol

Just use the one on the far left.

Didn't the currents from the island in Papyon come in toward the island making it nearly impossible to escape? I haven't seen the movie in a while and wasn't entirely paying attention when I did (it was on tv).

As far melee weapons wouldn't something like a shovel be more useful? You don't really have to worry about technique, it can be easily replaced, and you can use it to dig as well as smack zombie is the head with. Granted, it might not be the fastest weapon in CQC but I think in most of our cases it would probably end up being the most effective.

Haven't you played HALO? Its just like driving a scorpion tank.

Its not like if you fuck up and hit something you're gonna get busted.
